Ukraine will continue the transit of Russian natural gas while it is technically feasible but proposes to freeze funds from its sale in escrow accounts until the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, said the CEO of Naftogaz, Yuriy Vitrenko. He also noted that he could not disclose details of political discussions with the president, Russia, and the European Union. However, he noted that Russian troops in Ukraine are very cautious about the gas transit infrastructure, although they do not spare the distribution infrastructure. “Therefore, it is obvious that they do not want to harm their commercial interests and commercial relations,” Vitrenko said.
